FBI Search of Fulton County, Georgia Election Office
- The FBI executed a court-authorized search warrant at the Fulton County Election Hub related to the 2020 presidential election.
- The action is evidence that past claims of election fraud—particularly those advanced by Donald Trump—are finally being taken seriously.
  - Judicial approval of the warrant is proof of legitimacy.
  - Seizure of ballots, computers, phones, and election records.
  - Allegations that early votes were improperly certified without required signatures.
  - The dismissal of the prior state-level prosecution against Trump in Georgia as vindication.
Assertion of Broader Election Manipulation Concerns
- Foreign interference, specifically claiming that Mexican consulates worked to influence U.S. elections via immigration and cultural influence.
- These claims are tied to a book (The Invisible Coup) and used to argue that U.S. elections are structurally compromised.
Trump’s Georgia Election Claims
- Trump’s assertion that he “won Georgia” is reinforced.
- The FBI investigation is a potential confirmation that the 2020 Georgia results were altered or fraudulent.
- Media skepticism of these claims is dishonest or politically motivated.
Second Story: Death of Alex Pretty in Minnesota
- The media portrays Alex Pretti as an innocent victim of ICE violence.
- Newly surfaced video shows Pretti:
  - Assaulting federal agents,
  - Damaging government vehicles,
  - Carrying a firearm during protests.
Law Enforcement Justification Narrative
- Federal agents involved in the shooting were placed on administrative leave (presented as standard procedure).
- Pretti posed an ongoing threat and that agents acted in self-defense.
- Family and attorney statements with video evidence to accuse the media of intentional misinformation.
Broader Media Critique
- - Mainstream media is misleading the public,
  - The political left is covering up violent behavior,
  - Institutions are suppressing truth about election integrity and immigration enforcement.
